Just an FYI but when talking about left/right on a vehicle it is done with the person sitting in the driver seat looking forward just as one would when driving.

Can anyone run a OASIS on my vin# 1FTFX1EF9EFA84798? I want to find out if I have a ESP Power-train Warranty.

Thank-You for doing that.I'm Still uncomfortable with the knock,knock noise from the bottom end that is "Normal"! With my luck it will break after the 60 months.

I wouldn't call it normal. Mine don't knock, if it did someone would be putting a new engine in it.

Pop the belt off to take out the chance it is a driven noise ( water pump ) etc. ask the dealer to do it.

Took to dealer at 1200 miles.Dealer removed belts and checked crank end play. Tech told me knock gone with belt off? Said they checked 7 other 5.0 engines and heard knock in all? I heard it in two others. Ford engineer stopped any repairs and said it was NORMAL operation.
Very distinct knock and best heard just above idle,700 rpm, in gear. Or driving slowly/backing.

Are you by any chance in Canada or anywhere other than the U.S. ?

So you are in another country, LOL seriously though if the noise goes away with the belt off then it's an engine accessory making the noise. Could be normal.

Mine is quiet as can be.


EDIT: Probably a smog pump for California emissions and why I don't hear it, I'm not in Cali.
